Leave a Comment / By admin / Health & Wellness Community

WHO called the world’s twenty wealthiest nations, holding a summit next week, to come ahead and make donations of COVID-19 vaccines doses to the global south, which is going through a vaccine lag in terms of the required number of vaccines. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a news briefing that the G20 countries must fulfill their dose-sharing commitments immediately. For global health financing, Gordon Brown said, “If the world’s wealthiest nations cannot mobilize for the vaccine to the impoverished countries. An epidemiological and economic dereliction of duty will shame us all”. WHO’s 40% vaccination target in all countries by mid-2022 is still short of 500 million vaccine doses, whereas almost 240 million vaccines are unused in the west. Source:Healthworld.com

IIT Kanpur made this announcement, which reportedly claims to give entry to students who have participated in Internationally renowned Olympiads, who are eligible to get direct access based on their performances in the competition. It is justified that students who crack an international Olympiad go through complex preparation and selection processes. Students who will qualify for the Olympiad exam can apply directly for admission in their preferred subjects. However, the final acceptance of this new decision is yet to come from the head of departments of IIT. However, this latest entry for the admission system is introduced by IIT based on principal agreement. Hence there is no such guarantee regarding admission of these students yet. Source: News18.com

1. What is Digital Health Technology? The World Health Organization (WHO) defines digital health as the “application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives.” To explain the term more efficiently, the use of computing platforms, software and sensors for healthcare and wellness of the entire population is known as digital health technology. It is a broad multidisciplinary concept that blends health and technology together to support the equitable and universal distribution of healthcare services across the globe. Soon, the medical fraternity and healthcare technology experts will share their acquired digital health intelligence with the world and impoverished nations to eradicate diseases and anomalies. We are looking towards a future that will leverage practices like telehealth and telemedicine to treat patients. 2.

A health-tech startup that helps its patients in understanding prescriptions and also allows the doctor to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease

Leave a Comment / By admin / Article/Stories, Health & Wellness Community

At the start of 2021 Tarun Gupta, was first presented with a new product at the AIIMS ophthalmology department. The product was a noninvasive retina screening tool thatwas capable of checking cardiovascular risk. At another experience where the eye drop prescription for Tarun’s son led him to give a one-month eye drop dosage for three months, resulting in damage of looks for his son. This situational crisis made Tarun understand the deep-rooted issue of difficulty in understanding the prescription written by doctors. That did lead to big blunders as well as irreversible damage to the patients. Therefore, with the motive of bridging the gap between understanding the prescription and decoding it correctly. Tarun Thakur, with his colleague Prakash Thakur, launched a healthcare startup SiCureMi, healthcare technologies, in late 2018. The motive behind this was to improve the health outcome and enhance the healthcare delivery. There have been cases where patients could not decide whether they needed to take a medicine once a day or twice a day. There were situations when old-aged patients took the night dose of medicine in the morning because they forgot to take it early, leading to dangerous conditions. Keeping these issues in mind, Tarun Gupta started this unique healthcare startup in 2018, the screening of the product began in 2019, and KYP was initiated in 2021 for the same. KYP by SiCureMi solutions is known as ‘Know your prescription’, which is a patient-focused production for explaining and simplifying the prescription and addressing general treatment-related queries in languages such as; English, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, and Malayalam. KYP helps to give clarity around the medical prescription. All a patient needs to do is visit the AI-based portal, which will direct the patient a WhatsApp number as due diligence. Then these patients are connected with a pharmacist or medical professional to assist them in giving a deep understanding of their prescription. This way, the new tool will result in minimizing medication errors and providing better patient adherence . Cardiac disease risk prediction The IIT Delhi incubation startup has designed an early diagnostic and AI and ML-based prevention screening tool to assess and manage chronic health conditions. The diseases that can be ordered and predicted by these AI and ML-based tool cardiovascular diseases are usually caused due to past reasons like hypertension, kidney disease, elevated levels of total cholesterol, and blood sugar level. However, the changes in the retinal microvasculature will give a better insight; hence, SiCureMi has built algorithm-based methods that can predict the risk scores. Ophthalmologists, cardiologists, and other related clinicians can utilize this risk assessment tool to assess early signs of potential risk. Source: Yourstory.com
